Buy Pills Without A Prescription
Unions converged on Chicago on Tuesday to protest lobbying by major banks against proposed reforms of the financial system.
The AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and other labor groups were leading a rally expected to draw 5,000 participants outside the annual conference for the American Bankers Association (ABA).
“We think the greed and risky decisions by Wall Street led to our economic collapse,” said Anna Burger, secretary-treasurer for SEIU, speaking on the phone from Chicago – buy pills without a prescription.“We think it is time to call them out – buy pills without a prescription.It is time to let the big banks know that they don’t own the country – buy pills without a prescription. Buy pills without a prescription: people do.”
“This level of anger demonstrates that people are sick and tired of the banks taking their money and mortgaging away their economy,” said Dan Pedrotty, director of the Office of Investment for the AFL-CIO.

I think this is awesome and if anyone has a chance of organizing a popular revolt against the current broken system it is the unions. It is past time to pass out the lanterns and the pitchforks.
The only unfortunate thing about this episode is that many of the major villains were in New York at the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Annual Meeting. Perhaps the next rally can take place outside of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Headquarters in DC.
